Children's Bookmark Contest

Design a bookmark for Wilmette Public Library!

Starting Monday, March 2, pick up an entry form at the Youth Services desk, or download it below and print it out. Entries must be completed on this form. Designs must be turned in by Sunday, April 5.

Winning bookmarks will be printed and distributed at the library, and all eligible designs will be displayed in the Youth Services Department, starting Monday, April 20, in celebration of National Library Week.

  • The contest is open to kids in grades K-8. Winners will be chosen in three categories: grades K–1, grades 2–4, and grades 5–8.
  • Artwork should relate to books, reading, or libraries. Artwork must be original and completed independently by the child.
  • Contestants are limited to one entry. We request that contest entries be submitted by individual children rather than classroom teachers.
  • Art becomes the property of Wilmette Public Library.
